As previously stated, the 0.5 cycle is focused on polish. Our most recent improvement is the integration of better transform gizmos. These new ones behave a bit more closely to what you might expect of a professional 3D editing app. You are now able to move an object in 2 dimensions simultaneously, using the intermediate square between two arrows. You can also rotate an object freely, using the sphere that makes out the rotation gizmo. In addition to this, you're also able to rotate an object according the the current viewport (outer circle). Furthermore, as you can see, the gizmos correspond better to mouse input. One of the most common criticisms we used to get was that the move tool felt weird and lacked precision. These new gizmos should hopefully offer a better editing experience.
